In a cyber-threat-ridden world, safeguarding manufacturing data and systems is vital.
Let's talk challenges
Your organization is confronted with the escalating complexity of IT operations. You are not only tasked with ensuring continuous operation of business-critical applications and systems, but also tasked with accelerating digital transformation. All this while also facing the constant challenge of protecting the operations of your organization from cyber threats.
Ensuring Continuous Operations
Manufacturers often find themselves dealing with complex IT operations that span their factories and supply chains. The management of intricate systems, security concerns, and the necessity for continuous optimization can be overwhelming. To confront these challenges effectively, manufacturers must prioritize several key actions.
Establishing robust partnerships for managed services can prove invaluable. This can offload some of the operational burden, allowing manufacturers to focus on strategic initiatives.
Manufacturers face the challenge of speeding up their digital transformation. To meet this challenge head-on, you should foster a culture of rapid application development, encouraging cross-functional teams to innovate and create solutions that enhance manufacturing efficiency, quality control, and supply chain management. Upskilling the manufacturing workforce in low-code development can be transformative, enabling employees to contribute to application development without the need for deep coding expertise.
Industry 4.0, or the digital, smart and data-driven factory of the future, offers huge opportunities for manufacturing companies. This is because the industrial world is facing rapidly changing challenges, such as finite resources and supply chain disruptions. Digitalisation and data are the gamechangers to meet these challenges and make the step towards Industry 4.0.
Powered by Microsoft, HSO can help you gain complete control and visibility over your business, from the factory floor to your customer’s door. Watch our short video to see what we offer.

The Common Myth with Modernizing ERP
Manufacturing is going through a period of intense change. With tighter margins than ever, global companies are increasingly reliant on good data analytics to run seamless and streamlined operations.
Microsoft Dynamics AX Support has ended. What Next?
Since its first release in 2002, Microsoft Dynamics AX has served as the foundation of many of our clients’ ERP systems. Microsoft ceased mainstream AX support for all versions in October 2021 as it placed greater emphasis on Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. But what does that mean for businesses who aren’t yet prepared to switch from Microsoft Dynamics AX to Dynamics 365, or don’t want to upgrade anytime soon?
